It's Raining Cats and Dogs

Lee County Animal Services Rolls Out Huge Adoption Special! 

Fort Myers, Florida, 6/6/08-It's Raining Cats and Dogs at Lee County Animal Services!  Throughout June, the shelter is lowering the adoption fee for both dogs and cats to only $25 (50 - 62 percent off the regular fee).  If adopters want a second pet it will be free! 

With kitten season in full force plus an increase in the number of dogs and cats entering shelters due to difficult economic times, Animal Services is offering this special to attract as many persons interested in a new pet. 

The adoption fee, a $500 value, includes: 

Spay/neuter surgery
Age-appropriate vaccinations
Rabies vaccination and county license
10-day pet health guarantee
Microchip ID
Feline Leukemia and Aids test for cats
Heartworm test for dogs over 6 months
Flea treatment

Training DVD
Bag of Science Diet pet food  

Animal Services takes in approximately 1,300 pets each month and more than 16,000 annually.  In addition to low-cost spay/neuter programs the shelter is implementing more adoption promotions at the shelter, utilizing offsite adoption locations, and is expanding its foster program. 

For more information about adoption, spay/neuter programs, or foster and volunteer programs call 239-533-7387 (LEE-PETS).  Photos and information about pets are also available online at www.LeeLostPets.com.
